Not-Quite-Beaujolais-Nouveau Day Thursday 19th November

Instead of the traditional Beaujolais Nouveau Day, celebrating the new season’s release of the easy-drinking Beaujolais Nouveau from Central France, we’re highlighting a new w**e release, made in a similar fashion, from one of our favourite West Country vineyards: Chub Nouveau by Sandridge Barton.

The price is for the set, no choice menu (unfortunately given the format of the event we are unable to cater for allergies and dietary requirements). There is an option to add on a bottle of the w**e for a special pre-discounted price. Glasses and bottles will also be available to purchase on the night.

Please note, we will not be serving any other drinks at this event.

Bookings available through our website.

We are back open after a short Hellenic caper and all of a sudden it seems to be Autumn. In the words of our favourite, on-screen uncle ‘let’s get home, the sky’s beginning to bruise’.

This time of year presents so many challenges to a cook; not, as is often the case, through scarcity, but through abundance and variety. We still have tomatoes coming in as well as chillies and peppers, alongside the autumnal stalwarts apples, beetroot, squashes and radicchio. Salad harvests from our garden have changed from simply lettuce varieties to encompass mustards, rocket and hardier endives. We get cold snaps followed by weeks of mild, almost spring-like weather. Do people want a soup or a salad? It varies wildly from one day to the next.

In the previous iteration of North Street Kitchen when it closed around this time, I missed this. The mad dash from one season to the next, the stocking of the larder for the leaner months with pickles, chutneys, ferments and preserves.

Sometimes you get the longed-for quieter days which provided the light at the end of the tunnel throughout summer. Sometimes you get random pockets of busyness when people are deceived by the capricious weather forecasters into thinking there will be sunshine. It’s the sort of fun chaos that suits us.

Open now Thursday-Saturday lunch 12-2pm (walk-ins only) and Friday & Saturday dinners (bookings available on our website).

Just a reminder of our opening hours this week as we move towards our annual holiday.

We will be closing after lunch on Friday 18th September and reopening with winter hours w/c 28th September.

Whilst we currently have spaces for dinner the weekend we reopen (both Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd October) we are not responding to bookings emails during this time.

Many thanks for your understanding.

Things we’ve been up to recently.

Summer is over. All of a sudden. There are parking spaces, moments to breath, even time to take photos of food before it is whisked off the pass.

This summer has been a long one, with many challenges, but we’re super grateful to our team for sticking at it with us. A reminder that we are closing for our annual break after lunch service on Friday 18th September. Reopening week beginning 28th September with our winter hours schedule.

Closed for our annual holiday 19/09-27/09 inclusive. There will also be no dinner on Friday 18/09.

Its been an exceptionally busy year so far, for which we’re so, so grateful (not to mention quite humbled - those of you who queued for over an hour in the rain the bank holiday just gone in particular!), but now is our chance to reset, recover and unwind.

Closing might not make business sense in such a seasonal town, but it’s something that our incredibly hard-working team deserves.

Upon return, we’ll be reverting to our winter hours.

Thanks for your continued support and understanding.

The busier it gets, the more the menu changes but the less time we have to take photos of things.

Plenty of lobsters from our mate Pete appearing on the menu as salads, halves with mayonnaise, or in sandwiches.

We are fully into tomato season now (25kg dispatched last week in various guises). Roasted costolutto from Earthbound Farm seen here with monkfish and crispy potatoes. Honeycombs from Mora Farm with their fine beans alongside a beast of a Porchetta.

The final berries of what’s been a very early and intense berry season.

Courgettes continuing to fruit with abandon.

The new merch drop you’ve all been waiting for. Hats now available on our website and from the restaurant. The denim hat modelled here by Ethan Friskney-Bryer whilst picking the biggest chard ever witnessed and the smallest potatoes.

North Street Kitchen is, we hope, a lot of things to a lot of different people. We’ve never written a mission statement, but if we were to, it’d be a restaurant serving legitimately sustainable and local food to as wide a variety of people as possible.

It’s for this reason we are utterly thrilled - and a little coy - to announce we’ve been listed as number 28 in the The Good Food Guide Best Local Restaurants 2026.

Awards aren’t why we run a business - they can’t be. But we appreciate every single one of those we receive. It keeps us motivated in what is a hugely difficult economic climate as well as vindicates our decisions.

Whilst there are only two people in this photo, this is an award for the huge number of people who continue to contribute to the running of this small seaside restaurant: staff, suppliers, regular guests, occasional guests have all played a part in this.

Thank you to every single one of you.
